HOPE IN MYANMAR

Marilyn Illman in Myanmar

Kingdom partnerships run deep and wide! I often sit amazed that you and I are able to play a part in the incredible things that God is doing around the world to bring those without help and hope to Him.

Let me share with you part of a letter we recently received from our mission partner in Myanmar, Simon Thaung, with Asia Christian Services following our FAME medical mission trip in January.

“The medical team gave medical care and the dental team gave dental care. Marilyn Illman gave over 1,000 reading glasses to open their eyes to read God’s Living Word. Pastor Jeff Robinson taught Pastor Conferences in Yangon and Myitkyina. The Evangelists gave the message of Hope and Grace of God while the prayer team prayed for them. Over 100 people accepted Jesus as their personal Savior. But our evangelists continue reaching them by following up to grow and become like Christ.

By the help of FAME, we planted and built Waterfall Christian Church in a refugee society at Thailand-Myanmar border. God’s Kingdom is expanded through your prayer support and the partnership of FAME.”

All glory and praise to God! Together we are reaching the world with the good news of Jesus Christ, both today and for eternity.

HEALTH DAYS IN HONDURAS

In less than one week, our Honduras team will be on their way to Tegucigalpa, Honduras to serve with missionaries Felipe and Valerie Colby, directors of the ministry of “His Eyes”. FAME has sent Short-term teams to Honduras for almost 15 years now. These medical teams have treated hundreds of patients at multiple medical camps over the years by dispensing medications and teaching a brief “preventative health” lesson while patients wait patiently for their medications to be prepared.

This year however, we are doing something different! Instead of dispensing medications that will be used up in 2 weeks – 1 month, we want to leave something significant and sustainable behind. Our team will be traveling to 4 different communities. Upon arrival, they will join 75 people from each community who have been personally invited by their pastor to attend a “health day”.

SAVE THE DATE
OCTOBER 21, 2016

Plan now to join us for the next Night of Hope, October 21, 2016 at Jonathan Byrd’s Banquet and Conference Center in Greenwood, IN. We look forward to having you as our guest for this special night! More details to follow in the coming months.

On another note, many of you may have read that Jonathan Byrd’s is closing. They are only closing the cafeteria/restaurant portion of their facility. The Banquet and Conference Center will NOT be closing and therefore, our fall event will not be affected.
